A Tale of Dreams

They say wishes do come true.

Create an idea that dreams are real.

That secrets can become reality.

 

If I told you my dreams would you listen?

They are loud like a heartbeat punctured

by heartache, weeping a swallows song

 

Will you take my secrets?

Hold them in your hand like an injured bird,

caressing its broken wing, as whispered prayers

exit your lips.

 

Can you grant my wishes?

Care for them like a mother who brings

her child into the world, holding the newborn

while tears stream down her cheeks empty

promises escape out her mouth as she

vows to protect this small being from pain

 

She cant.

You can.

 

Hear my dreams, release my secrets,

place my wishes into reality like people

believe Jesus hung the stars

 

Unreal, unbelievable, you might just

be

My Never Ending Nightmare

The Feeding

A dusty fan circulated across the room from one end to the other. It’s been a while since Augustus put it to use, so he couldn’t blame the junk for its inability to remember its single duty. Arkansas hasn’t had a summer night like this since he was a child. He lay in his damp […]

Becoming Another

I am obligated to remember this; being small. For weeks I recall nothing at all. Once I was ordinary, Lying under another’s sequoias tree. When it thundered, I hid in a pit. A Cratus is among us, His three siblings too. Mother, I am becoming another. I must swallow it all. I have never known, […]

I Was Lying in the Sun

  I was lying in the sun, Near juniper shrubs and storybook villas. Not enough profit and pleasure in the telling of, The tapping of a cigarette, The brush of bare knees, A long draught of wine, Closing the shutters on balconies, With blinds made of lace at Angel’s Bay. Red watermelon hues. I’ve read […]
